Hemodynamically significant renal artery stenosis (RAS) induces hypoperfusion of the affected kidney leading to a constellation of physiologic responses. Upregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) results in arterial...

We report a case of acute renal failure secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis presenting with anuria and well-controlled blood pressure. Renal function improved following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting.

The progressive nature of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is now well recognized. Observational data suggests that untreated renal artery stenosis can lead to progressive hypertension, renal insufficiency, and increased mortality.

Renal artery stenosis is the most common secondary cause of hypertension. It affects 5% of the 50 million people with HTN in the United States. Renovascular disease leads to malignant HTN in 10–45% of patients.
